Review By JANE COWLES – Vegbooks.org This is a book for children with active minds and bodies. The ABCs of Nutrition by Robert Orchanian teaches children (ages 2 to 5) the abc s and introduces them to vegetables and fruit with a colorful cast of home grown characters which the author refers to as the Snack Pack (Smart Nutritionally Active Kids)*. Andrew Birdman s vegetable characters are playful and as the author says active. There is a date in standing tree yoga pose, a fig jumping rope and a golfing quince. Children will learn about all kinds of fruits and vegetables like ugli fruit, quince and kiwis other than the BASICS (bananas, apples, sweet potato, carrot and squash). and will be curious to try different activities like yoga, karate, ballet and lacrosse. The ABCs of Nutrition (Amazon affiliate link) is fun and adventuresome; a great tool for teaching the alphabet as well as a way to broaden a child s palette. I reviewed the online galley of this book but look forward to flipping the pages of the soft-bound book. Personally, I think the title could be better. Fruits and vegetables are only one part of healthy, balanced nutrition. A title like Alphabet Garden or The ABCs of Eating Fruits and Veggies seems more suitable, but then again I have a unique perspective having recovered from an eating disorder. Overall Orchanian s book is a sensory delight. –Vegbooks.org<br ><br >London Vegan and Vegetarian Society The ABC s of Nutrition – Bright, clear and easy to read The ABC s of Nutrition is aimed at teaching kids the importance of healthy nutrition from a young age. The writer, a vegan, Robert Orchanian from Yorktown Heights, NY USA, says the book reflects his family s lifestyle: My wife and I have raised 5 healthy kids. Whether it s yoga, weight training or running, in general, we all exercise regularly and eat right! The foods that toddlers eat are the foods they will want to eat for the rest of their lives. This is because in the formative years, organs, tissues and nerve cells are programmed in their unique window of time based on the foods eaten – like metabolic programming. Another reason lies in the way childhood memories are formed. Up to the age of about two and a half or three years, children usually do not form conscious memories, but instead are busy using their daily experiences to create the instinctive emotions and likes and dislikes that will become intuitive feelings in the future. So if a young child learns to enjoy vegetables for dinner every night and fresh fruit for dessert, they incorporate these healthy foods into her developing subconscious blueprint for what a proper meal should be. Not only does it taste good to them, it feels right, too! –LondonVeganSocieties.com
